I'm experiencing an odor that is coming through my vents, it smells like antifreeze but then the odor changed and it smelled like anesthesia and had an effect like it as well. I was driving on my way home from work and had the air-conditioner running (summer 2016) my eyes started to get blurry and the smell was taking over me, I said to myself I think I'm about to pass out ( it was a feeling like I was going under to prepare for surgery) I quickly let the windows down to air out the car. And then I was fine. I did not run the air the rest of the summer. Now that it is winter I was running my defrost and the same smell was there so I quickly defrost and aired out the car. Also with it being cold and turning on the heat I still get that anti-freeze smell. Sometimes when I am not running anything through the vents a whiff of the smell comes through. I had my car serviced and looked at but they could not find anything wrong and could not detect the foul smell. Each time I and these encounters I was driving both in the city and on the highway. This started in the summer of 2016 and it is still happening as of 3/17/17

My vehicle started knocking after my second oil change. I asked the dealership to look at it and they told me everything was fine. I asked them more than once over the next few years when I got regular oil changes. They said everything was fine. Then in 2016 my vehicle started with a knocking and random misfires. I took it to the dealership and was told that my cams were blown, my pistons were not working and my lifters were bad. My car is four years old. All of these problems culminate in no power to my engine and a possible seizure of my engine. I am requesting this be looked into.

Crankshaft sensor and 2 camshaft sensors had to be replaced. Going uphill on a bridge that I travel 2X a day for 365/year, it decided to cut off while going up the bridge, I went from 52 mph to 0 mph and coasted to the foot of the bridge, it would sputter when trying to turn on and then after 20 - 30 mins, it turned on as if nothing happened and I drove home. The next day tried to drive over the bridge and it did the same thing going up hill. It just stopped. Mechanic says I had 2 bad camshaft sensors and 1 bad crankshaft sensor. The car still hiccups and shutters and acts like it is going to cut off again as I go uphill with the air conditioner on. I really believe in my heart the air conditioning is draining the power and somehow causing adverse affects elsewhere, I just dont know how I can prove the correlation. I don't feel like replacing those sensors is the end all to the story. I just don't know what else to do.

I purchased a used 2012 Dodge Journey in September 2015 from lakeshore Chrysler Dodge and Jeep of slidell, Louisiana. We have had nothing but problems since driving off the lot. Found out after purchase that the car was not inspected prior to dealership reselling it. Before I even got home the check engine light came on. I called the dealership and reported issues. They did the oil change and inspected the car and said everything was fine it was "normal noises" however after complaining and complaining the were able to locate and fix the issue with the shifting noises and jolting. We are still experiencing the "normal noise" of three clicks when the engine turns off. We have numerous electrical/computer issues. The air, radio, touch screen, lights, all got off randomly. The system will not respond even if the vehicle is turned off and back on. It works when it wants to. We have issues where the car accelerates faster on its own have to break while car still tries to accelerate. We have had this vehicle in the shop numerous times since the purchase and they "can not duplicate the issue" so they can not fix it. I have provided numerous videos showing and proving the electrical/computer issues we are having. Dodge refuses to do anything to fix the situation. Everything is at our expense. Wants us to pay 150 diagnostic fee on top of having to get rent-A-car for the duration of time the vehicle is in the shop. The dealership has had my car on numerous occasions. One time they had it for over 18 days and said "normal noise" and "could not duplicate" however out of the 18 days they only drove the car 35 miles. I no longer feel safe driving this car. It scares me just to drive to the local grocery which we gotten stuck and had to have towed to dealership. I am so scared & trapped in this car with no way out. Contacting a lawyer this can not be legal to sell defects.
